[XP Home] Boot. Then Wait 2 Minutes Before I Can Connect in Microsoft Help http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20781909 en Mon, 30 Nov 2009 04:10:15 EDT Mon, 30 Nov 2009 04:10:15 EDT Re: [XP Home] Boot. Then Wait 2 Minutes Before I Can Connect http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20851373 auggy :

Since it works in safe mode, it looks like some program/driver/whatever is the issue. Problem is how to find it.
Try a "clean boot" of XP - Method 2 in the following MS KB article:

»support.microsoft.com/kb/331796

If a "clean boot" works there are further steps in the article to try to determine the problem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20851373 Sat, 26 Jul 2008 06:55:32 EDT Re: [XP Home] Boot. Then Wait 2 Minutes Before I Can Connect http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20851157 anon :

1. During the 2 minutes (maybe 1.5) after booting, ipconfig gives me the correct information. Pinging a website works as well.

2. Only AV/Firewall installed is Windows' firewall. Disabled/Enabled did not make a difference.

3. Am using an old Alactel?? DSL modem & a Linksys wired router. Tried setting the static IP, but could not even connect to the internet after the change. I used 10.10.1.XXX, but even inputting that instead of 192.168.1.XXX yielded no connection.

I am at a loss at what is causing this stall.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20846053 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 02:59:50 EDT Re: [XP Home] Boot.

Try setting a static IP for your NIC.

i.e.

IP address 192.168.0.100
subnet mask 255.255.255.0]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20845305 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 22:29:20 EDT Re: [XP Home] Boot.

Then Wait 2 Minutes Before I Can Connect http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20781909 anon : Cannot figure this out. If you seen this question before, a reply with a link would be appreciated if you prefer. I tried searching for answer, but have not found anything.

Problem is as stated in the subject. Issue started after a re-installation of XP.

Computer cannot get onto the internet for 2 minutes after the boot process is finish. No matter what internet application is launched, it will just keep on searching for a connection until the 2 minutes is up. After that, the application will load with the data it just downloaded. Everything afterwards will be normal until the next boot when I will have to wait for 2 minutes again.

I checked the Internet Options/Connections/LAN Settings and unchecked everything. Still the same thing happens. This is getting annoying. Any ideas on how this can be fixed?

Thanks. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20781909 Sat, 12 Jul 2008 19:27:17 EDT
